Fantasy Tip: Thomas has missed the last few games because of injuries and probably will miss another game. He had been limited to 30 yards in each of his last seven games and should be avoided in all leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas didn't practice all of last week either, so he could be heading for another absence. If he sits again then Ben Koyacek and Neal Sterling would split duties at tight end, but neither see enough volume to start in fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas did not practice at all during the week and was listed as doubtful on the injury report. Ben Koyack and Neal Sterling are expected to split time at tight end while he is sidelined but neither player should be viewed as a viable fantasy option.
